Symbology

Colour, hatch, line, and symbol sets enable you to code values, points, symbols, hatches and lines. Colour, hatch, line, and symbol coding is applied according to the values of a Symbology Field and can be used to differentiate between the changing values in a dataset.

For example, you might:

• Use a different collar symbol depending on the prefix of the Hole ID (DDH*, RC*, RAB* etc.). See: Wildcards
• Colour code assays according to their value
• Use different hatch patterns to display downhole lithology
• Use a line set to display inferred, indicated, and measured classification zones

When you open a colour, hatch, line, or symbol set, you can do two things:

• Edit an existing set. Any changes you make will be automatically saved
• Create an entirely new set

You can open colour, hatch, line, or symbol sets in two ways:

• From a Properties form. This is the most common method
• From the Tools menu, for example: Tools | Colour sets | Text

There are two types of colour, hatch, line, or symbol set:

• Numeric Sets
• Text Sets

When you display objects in Vizex, a legend toolbar allows you to view the colours, hatches, lines, and symbols that have been applied to your display objects.
